Phew, I finally got my computer! Its an HP, with a 1 TB hard drive, 6gb ram, and a nice monitor and a soft keyboard! I'm so happy. I've been installing all my programs. right now downloading itunes and Quicktime and adobe reader so that my Toon Boom can work and I can set up my itunes account. Installing Zune software and backing all my music up on my portable hard drive so i can move it to the new computer :)
Once i get everything installed I'll be golden! golden! it will just take a while to do all that HAHA!
I think I've transfered my important bookmarks!
Uh oh! I have 64 bit windows 7 and quicktime isnt compatible with 64 bit but its required for toonboom!! I hope i can figure a way around thing >.>

FIASCO
Theres no other word for it. Getting this computer has been emotionally, mentally and physically draining.
So after we bought and exchanged the first one, they wouldn't test it in the store for us so we brought it home and sure enough the second computer had the exact same problem! so back we go (It's pouring rain and a long walk with that HEAVY computer!) and this time get a refund! Fed up. So we roamed around and I found an HP computer with 6 gigs of ram, 1 TB of hard drive space, decent video card, and a good monitor. I got that PLUS a 3 year warranty (which I'd normally scoff at), and I paid to have them set it up for me as well! if there was something wrong with this one I wouldnt want to lug it back too.
SO they're setting it up now! and I'll pick it up in an hour!
My shoulder and arms are aching, and I'm just exhausted....just spent.
but in an hour I make one more agonizing trip down and back and pick it up and it will be ready to go! jsut plug that sucker in and start piling my programs on :) Cant wait.
gunna make some food, even though I'm too exhausted to be hungry, jeri wants food.
then out we go!

GRRRR!!!! computer Strife
Okay, so against my better judgement, i bought a gateway computer. Half because I was in a rush and the store was closing but half because it was a great deal, and it was really the best specs of the whole store. Seriously quad core 6 gigs of ram lotsa hard drive space and a good video card - it was a sweet machine! and Windows 7 to boot! Perfect. got it home, didnt work. 2 system restores later and 3 hours on live chat and phone with gateway customer service and these asshats want me to send the fucking thing back to the depot for a repair... its 3 hours OLD! am i going to wait a week and send the thing to the god damn depot or am I going to bring it back to future shop and demand an exchange tomorrow!? So the thing is packed up, I'm taking JUST the computer part back not the monitor and I'm getting it exchanged tomorrow. I'll make em test it in store too. Just to make sure it works.
On the Plus side the Futureshop employee was fantastic. I was glad he got his commission. He gave us a 40$ cable for 5$ (goes to show how hight the mark up is eh?) and I'm sure future shop will exchange it for us no problem. Hopefully I packed it up right.
Another plus (DESPERATELY SEEKING PLUSSES!!) The monitor is STUNNING, STUNNING. its so big (and its so close it seems bigger!) and the buttons to turn it on are not visible as buttons! its a hard plastic case but when you tough the edge it comes on. its brilliant! I love it!
anyways, First thing when Future shop opens tomorrow I'm taking it down there to exchange it.
All will be well :)
